  2. Re:Fast, reliable, not expensive = win on AMD Launches Radeon R7 Series Solid State Drives With OCZ · · Score: 2

    Seems a good bet if you want reliability

    good bet if you want reliability limited to 43TB of writes. Or did you miss that small print in the warranty?

  3. Re: Marginally better on AMD Launches Radeon R7 Series Solid State Drives With OCZ · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Yes, im sure Toshiba knows best how good that drive is

    this is why they limit warranty to 43TB of written data ... on a 480GB drive. The LOWEST write limit in the industry.

  4. lets talk about endurance on AMD Launches Radeon R7 Series Solid State Drives With OCZ · · Score: 2

    > firmware geared towards write performance and high endurance

    because stock firmware was geared towards slowness and losing data ...

    >480GB
    >Endurance Rated for 30GB/day host writes for 4 years under typical client workloads

    for math challenged: this is 43TB of written data, after that your guarantee is VOID and NULL

    43TB on a 480TB drive, this is more than a joke, this is spitting in your face. This comes from Toshiba - manufacturer of both controller and flash memory, party that is best informed about REAL endurance capabilities of that combo.

    In case you are wondering - Samsung doesnt impose any write limitations on their 3 year guarantee for 840 EVO drives. Both drives look pretty much the same in tests.

    See the problem?
    Your average popcorn eating movie lowing consumer cant tell the difference _as it is now_, so obviously he is not the target market. Audio nuts are the market, and they will argue hearing bad capacitors in the power supply, why should they buy new setups when sound it produces will be polluted by DRM in the first place?

    You simply CANT offer 'super duper sound quality' and SHIT in the speakers at the same time, all you archive is hi quality shit.

    This doesn't even stike me as an "Unlimited vs Unmetered", argument, this strikes me as a, "for live, personal, in-person client use vs for server-type or impersonal use" argument.

  11. Potential for modding/injecting video on Add a TV Tuner To Your Xbox (In Europe) · · Score: 2

    You can emulate any USB device with something like Facedancer
    http://goodfet.sourceforge.net...

    USB DVB tuners just output MPEG2 transport stream when they are properly tuned to mux frequency.

    You can use OpenCaster
    http://www.avalpa.com/the-key-...
    to build your own stream.

    This means if will be relatively easy to build small usb dongle device capable of injecting h.264 video into Xbox 180.
    Of course I have no clue about xbone 180, maybe* its already capable of playing h.264 natively, and there is no need for hacks if you want to use one as a media center.

    * just checked, yep, xbone can stream h.264 natively

    Compared to what you can get in Europe or Asia, those "decent prices" are in fact insanely expensive.

    You seen to think "Europe" = London or Paris.

    ISP rates are directly related to population density.

    BULLSHIT, not in Europe. You can get 1Gbps in rural Romania/Poland for ~$30. The key is NEW (actually build right now, not some 30 years ago) fiber infrastructure and new ISPs connecting everyone.
